HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2019!

Happy New
Year!It is 2019 – a brand new
year!Here are some words of wisdom to
keep in mind as we move through another 365 days….

N – NEW – It is a new year – filled with opportunities, new ideas and even new
problems.As an organization, agree to
tackle everything that may occur this year in a new way!

E – ENGAGE –
Whether you are training volunteers, hiring employees, or creating a campaign
for the general public, be sure to engage your audience keeping in mind that
underlying question that gets asked by your target audience “what’s in it for
me?”

W – WIN – As
an organization, define your “win” for the year.What will it be?Increasing your volunteer base?Working on your bottom line?Acquiring that grant or new opportunity?Maybe it is all of these things.No matter what your “win” for 2019 is, be
sure to define it as an organization.

Y – YES –
Remember to consider saying “yes” even when your first thought is to say
“no”.Saying “yes” to a new proposal, a
new office procedure, or project may mean change, so keep an open mind to the
possibilities of saying “yes” this year!

E – EXPLORE
– Explore possibilities that may be “outside the box”.They say necessity is the mother of
invention, but don’t be afraid to explore those ideas and projects that may
have been talked about but never explored fully.

A – ACCEPT –
Be willing to accept the good and bad this year.Be realistic and able to work with what you
have remembering some expectations and goals may not be met.

R – REMEMBER
– Always remember your mission statement.It is the foundation and core of your organization.If you don’t already do it, read your mission
statement at the start of regular meetings with volunteers, employees and
clients.It is a great way to remember why
you do what you do and is a great way to share your vision.

My dog Louie

About Me

After my dog Louie died of cancer, I decided to form a business that brought people and their pets together for good causes.

In 2008, I started GoodPawsGoodCause, Every purchase of our Fur A Home®, Fur A Cure®, and Fur The Earth® merchandise gives back to good causes and supports the belief that every animal should have a loving home, that a cure for cancer can be found, and that the future of our planet is everyone’s responsibility.

During my life and career, I have always been involved with the planning, organizing and executing of events and promotions. I wanted to offer non-profit and charitable organizations some new ideas, some basic tips, and some good ways to help further the mission of their organization.

In 2016, Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley (where I adopted Louie) asked me to help them plan their 50th Anniversary. I was not only honored, but thrilled. That campaign helped me launch a new direction for Good Paws Good Cause - we now are helping non-profits and charities plan and execute fundraisers, special events, and more!
